Whether you have known each other for years, or have only just met, take the time to get to know your soil a bit better. The more you know about your soil, the better your rain garden will function.
You don't have to do all the tests we have shown you, but we recommend at least trying out one or two. Maybe, start with the ones, if any, you can do in the current weather conditions.
Don't forget to check out our FACEBOOK GROUP. It's a great place to post photos of your soil experiments, possible rain garden locations, plants you are thinking of including etc.
